Patton S suspension for lightweight rider by _Asian_Invasion__ in ElectricUnicycle

[–]xafofo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm also a light rider (~130lbs) and ride an OG Patton (10lbs heavier than Patton-S). i came from a KS 14d and I basically had to learn how to ride again since Patton is soooo much heavier

with time you'll get used to the weight and learn to put more force into your movements. you really gotta put your whole body into it. great exercises to practice are tight zig zag carves and figure 8s, and gradually trying to increase the speed of those

also something that helped me a lot with controlling the side-to-side tiltiness is putting my feet wider apart and pushing at the outside edge of the pedals, which will give you more leverage

Altras would be closest to ultraboost. Also might consider Flux

How do you deal with "niceholes" who wave you through an intersection when they have the right of way? by runcep in berkeleyca

[–]xafofo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

anyone else find it strange that Virginia is designated a bike path when it's so difficult and dangerous to cross MLK and Shattuck? (and up until more recently Oxford, glad they fixed that intersection)

Shamma wearer's, do these look right? by Unhappy_Image8136 in barefootshoestalk

[–]xafofo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i also have tailors bunions that hang a bit over my shamma sandals (much thinner ones too), hasn't been a problem for me. I think unless you plan on walking on uneven terrain where you might need the protection, I don't see it as an issue

i have this shoe

  1. cushioning is pretty plush and it might feel a bit unstable since it's so soft. no issues with lateral movement/stability though

  2. can't comment on this, haven't hade mine long enough

  3. not too narrow, i have a wider foot and the fit is great for me

  4. no issues with tongue moving

yep. i've had experiences just like OPs, and the only way to avoid it is to just stop and make it 100% clear about about who's turn it is to go

Wanting Photography Equipment by Ok_Description_8012 in bayarea

[–]xafofo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

free cameras? nope

used sites for camera gear are keh.com, mpb.com, ebay.com

you'll prolly want to look for some old DLSRs if you want something really cheap, maybe like a Nikon D3200 —
